I've really carelessly gotten out of relationships that were incredibly destructive instead of being honest.

I like to think of characters in relation to other cinematic characters.

Without the benefit of Google, ask anybody to name more than five female filmmakers that have made more than three films. It's shockingly hard.

I can't be the only person that's like, "Why am I in love with this guy just because he makes me feel bad?" I can't be the only person in the world who's had that feeling.

I've been in love with my best friend and not been able to tell that person.

I've slept with men that are unavailable, I've fallen in love with people I don't know.

When it comes to dating, you're not as crazy as you think you are.

Watching my own past heartache and experience day after day - it was gut-wrenching, cathartic, beautiful, and painful. That and shooting the film in less than a month.

I focus on darker things or bad behavior or explicit dialogue because creatively I am more interested in my mistakes and why I made them than my good deeds and my achievements.

I want people to understand and recognize that when it comes to dating, you're not as crazy as you think you are. Everyone needs love. We need it like air or water. We just don't know how to get it.

Create a goal and a purpose to live for, work for, and die for.

Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice.

We're on the computers, phones and tablets all day long, sometimes you just need to escape from the screens.

Surely it isn't illegal here to complain about young people these days? How cruel. I had thought it a basic part of human nature, one of the few universally practiced human customs.

I don't think there's anything unique about human intellience. All the nuerons in the brain that make up perceptions and emotions operate in a binary fashion.

Reality hasn't really intervened in my mother's life since the seventies.

Discipline is the soul of an army.

When the light has sharply faded And you have lost your way Let another's love guide you It can turn blackest night into day.

Make whatever decision you wish but never forget one thing: all of you are much better than you believed. Take advantage of the chance that tragedy has given you; not everyone is capable of doing so

You gotta call a blacksmith.
